Highlights

Caldeira Velha
The Caldeira Velha Natural and Regional Monument is located in Ribeira Grande, São Miguel island, an archipelago of the Azores and presents itself as a biosphere reserve of great importance for the botany and typical fauna of the Laurisilva Forests, given the great diversity of species and the high abundance of tree ferns that inhabit this natural monument, mainly due to very own climate that stimulated the appearance of natural vegetation associations and forest of exotic species.
Fogo lake
Lagoa do Fogo is a crater lake within the Água de Pau Massif stratovolcano in the center of the island of São Miguel in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. The highest lake located on the island of São Miguel, the region is protected by governmental regulation that does not permit any constructions around the lake.
Lagoa
Lagoa is a city and municipality in the district of Faro, in the Portuguese region of Algarve. The population of the municipality in 2011 was 22,975, in an area of 88.25 km². Its urban population, the city of Lagoa proper, has 6,100 inhabitants. An important travel destination, its coast has won numerous accolades.
Ponta Delgada
Ponta Delgada, on São Miguel Island, is the capital of the Azores archipelago of Portugal. The striking, 3-arched city gates and the Gothic-style Church of St. Sebastian are near the harbor. The Convent and Chapel of Our Lady of Hope houses a revered image of Christ. The Carlos Machado Museum offers diverse artifacts of Azorean culture. The city is a gateway to the crater lakes of Sete Cidades, to the northwest. Ponta Delgada began as a simple fishing village whose fishermen were once attracted by its safe coves but soon began to play the role of the main port of São Miguel Island. The city grew and in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the churches and manor houses flourished and still today they integrate the historic center.
Ribeira
The narrow, cobbled streets of Ribeira are dotted with small bars and eateries serving classic Portuguese fare like grilled sardines. Beside the Douro River, Praça da Ribeira square is lined with colorful 18th-century townhouses, while the neoclassical landmark, Palácio da Bolsa, is known for its ornate interiors. Hard Club hosts rock gigs and club nights in a restored market building.
